I don't know how accurate the nfo was, but an ATT installer told me they have stopped repairing/installing copper wire in the field and are only installing fiber because the cost is too high and they would rather spend the money on upgrades, rather than infrastructure that will be replaced, anyway.
I recall reading similar reports re: Verizon, their union employeers and the strikes earlier this year.
Meanwhile the big providers are fighting tooth and nail to prevent municipalities and other players from providing new options...
